Finally, Simon Cowell threw his son Eric a Greatest Showman-themed 5th birthday party, costing a grand total of roughly €34k. Y’know, given the exchange rate and all.

The music mogul, 59, hired a five-star hotel, where rooms can cost more than £10,000, and the guest list included Cheryl, Alesha Dixon, and Katie Piper with their kids

A party insider said: “Simon spared no expense in making sure it was the perfect occasion for little Eric. The kids got to sing their favourite songs from the film and the whole place was decked out just like the circus.

Everyone was joking that Simon was like Hugh Jackman’s character because he was the ringmaster.

Loads of celebrities were invited with their families and Eric’s own friends came, too.”

Great to hear that Eric has his own friends to keep him grounded. (The Sun)
